IIUC, mpi.so is a Python extension? If so, soname makes little sense for it.
Python extensions on my system appear to have or not have soname at random.

Yes, mpi.so is a Python extension, that is, pulling Python (libpython2.x) Boost.Python (libboost_python) as a dependency, and allowing Python programs to use Boost libraries. As I understand, it should also pull Boost.MPI (libboost_mpi) as a dependency (but in the version I have, boost-1.41.0-cmake0, it does not).
Then, the question is: where (in which dedicated directory) should that library (mpi.so) be delivered?
